Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Chatuge Lake

Beautiful home overlooking the lake and close to town or the marina. Well stocked for cooking. We loved the wrap around porch with table…we spent a lot of time on the screened in deck. Private location but plenty of space to walk dogs and easy to get into town . We will be back!

Cabin 6 absolutely amazed us! The home was stunning, with an open layout and breathtaking lake views from every window—it felt like pure tranquility. Jennifer warmly greeted us, helped with parking, and even assisted in securing a last-minute boat rental. A tip: let Greg and Jennifer know in advance if you want to rent a pontoon to ensure availability. Greg suggested Marina Station and Hiawassee Brew, and we happily indulged in both. We also ventured to Bell Mountain, and the views of Hiawassee were beyond words—simply awe-inspiring and even tear-jerking. Staying at Tranquille is highly recommended for its serene beauty and thoughtful amenities, ensuring a truly relaxing getaway. It’s a perfect spot to recharge and take in nature’s magic!

Mario's place is a true mountain hideaway. Rustic and comfy with enough bathrooms for a large family. Big living room to gather in, and spacey enough to get some time to yourself if needed. The place is well-stocked and clean. The vibe is clutter free and relaxed, homey and spacious. Woodsy with lots of birdsong and no neighbors within sight of the house except way down the mountain far away. There wasn't really anything we needed that we didn't find...extra blankets and pillows, toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, etc. There was even a chalk marker to mark our initials on our water bottles. Really can't say enough great things about this stay, and don't have anything negative to say. Mario is an excellent host and really flexible, with very few rules other than to respect his property. Highly recommend all the way around!

Beautiful, amazing and perfect for a getaway with friends or romantic stay. Architecturally stunning. Great example of mid-century modern with lots of cut outs, glass and details. Not for the mobile challenged (stairs and a bit of a walk from the car parking) and lots of glass (you give some privacy with other house mates) so if that is not your thing, I wouldn't recommend it. Very quiet except when you open the doors to the waterfall. First day, some water cascading over but after a rain it was all white and mesmerizing. Beds are small but very comfortable. I was able to cook some great meals and they had a lot of items you don't always have, like aluminum foil. Took the hosts recommendation for a vineyard (distillery was the highlight) and a stop in Toccoa, GA. Just book it and enjoy.

Usually when you stay at an Airbnb, you get what you pay for but here we got a very unexpected and never before experienced stay. Every single detail was so thoughtful and so generous, and it made our time an absolute blessing. Joan and clay are such a joy to talk with and they have gone far above and beyond any other place to make sure we had everything we could want or need. Truly felt like they were family and enjoyed our stay so so much. Will be back soon.

An amazing Cabin style home uniquely furnished with art collection.. Very comfortable beds and plenty of room all around. Awesome big, round dining table...great for gatherings and games. Beautiful sunrises. Super well maintained. Our only challenge was ensuring the front door did not lock us out accidently...but its an amazingly beautiful stained glass double door. Kitchen is fully stocked with durable dishwares and all needed utensils. A very relaxing and inviting living room from which you can enjoy the beautiful outdoor scenery and mountain views.

We had a wonderful stay here! Our visit was to attend our friends’ wedding at The Retreat at Hiawassee River (6 minute drive), but we were also able to easily get to Hiawassee and Helen throughout our stay. So, the location is incredible! This cabin was cozy and welcoming. The kitchen was so awesome and while we didn’t cook anything, we appreciated having a coffee maker and large fridge for all our snacks. The hot tub was divine and was the perfect way to relax in between wedding festivities. The bed was very comfy, too! If you’re someone who likes to unpack when you arrive, please note that there aren’t any dressers or chests of drawers. But the closets are great, and there are luggage racks that can hold relatively large suitcases! Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely recommend it (and our host) to anyone thinking of visiting!

Always love staying here! The cabin works beautifully for our family. Abby is a WONDERFUL host. Christmas 2024 was so special because of this amazing home. Thank you, Abby!

Would definitely recommend this cabin. Super convenient to Helen, easy access, not too far up the slopes, and easy exit with the lower driveway. This is not a luxury cabin. It is compact and enough for a couple and a pet. But the value for the stay is spot on, Roy is super awesome, and I would stay again.

Location, location, location! Everything is within walking distance. We loved leaving our car and just walking out the door. It's right above a restaurant so the parking lot does get crowded, but you do have a designated parking spot. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the tubers in the river. At night all the buildings are lit up and the view is great. The rental itself was perfect for what we needed. The listing doesn't mention it, but it does have a hairdryer and washer/dryer inside. Huge comfy bed. Overall a great stay!

Very unique place with more fresh eggs than you can eat and take home. Steve meets you when you arrive which nice to meet the host who is full of information and recommendations. We felt very much at home there. The location is central to the most beautiful water falls and hiking trails in North Georgia. I think we could live there. Can't wait to go back.

Shannon was a great host! The property was as described and in great condition and the location was perfect. We felt right at home for our weekend getaway. The bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of extra towels and pillows. They even had some snacks waiting for us. It is obvious that they put a lot of care into making this place feel like a home. We will definitely be staying here again if we come back!

This cute little downstairs apartment was perfect for our anniversary trip! It’s a great space for two people to relax and enjoy each other’s company. We spent our mornings on the porch swing drinking coffee and at night would head into town to eat at the recommended restaurants. The place was cute, homey, and had amazing views of the mountains!

The place was honestly a bit smaller than I had expected, but it was my first time ever renting Airbnb so I didn’t even read descriptions before renting, so that’s on me. Everything felt pretty comfy and my favorite part was definitely the sound of the river at night, gives an extremely peaceful vibe to the stay. It’s also a great location to find waterfalls for those wanting to hike. Excellent location, would definitely rent again.

This was my first time visiting the Franklin/Highlands, North Carolina area. Lisa's studio apartment is in a hollow away from the main road which provided a quiet, peaceful place to relax with absolutely no traffic noise. Patio area in front of studio alllows you a place to sit and view the mountains while listening to the birds. You might get a visit from the cats looking for a little attention. Lisa and her family were very friendly and I enjoyed talking with them about the area and some options of places I should consider visiting. The studio is in a great location being only 30 minutes away from Highlands. I would highly recommend visiting Dry Falls on the way to Highlands. The walk down is moderate and the Falls are incredible. The studio was immaculate and beautiful. It is very spacious for 1 or 2 people having a small table with two chairs, large sofa and sufficient size bed. Kitchen area is small but provides everything you need for your stay. I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed my stay, it felt very homey. The bed is comfy, the area is peaceful and quiet. Owners are communicative. It was my first time, I would stay here again as I love visiting the Tallulah Gorge area. The cell signal is very good once arriving, there is no service on the short drive from town up the mountain.

I had a wonderful stay! The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The host was communicative and welcoming, making check-in and check-out smooth and easy. The location was perfect—close to everything I needed, yet quiet and peaceful. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, stress-free stay!

The unit was as described. The location was quiet and private. It would be perfect for two people but was, as expected, a bit tight with two adults and two teens. Thankfully ours was a short stay so it worked great. It is rather dark because it is mostly below grade so the only windows are in the bedroom. There were plenty of linens. Stacy was very responsive.

We loved the attention detail from cleanliness, decor, amenities, quality linens, local recommendations, and communication. The location is perfect for walking to coffee and shops. A festival was going on in the town square, yet we still experienced easy access, designated parking, and quiet place to sleep and relax. We will definitely recommend this spot to others and we can’t wait to come back and stay a little longer. Thank you for the personal care.

The views off the top floor balcony are stunning! A great view of the sunrise over the lake. The house is very large and spacious with all the amenities you would need for a long stay. Well stocked utensils and cookware in the kitchen. A great loft area that turned into our prime hangout spot. Patricia is very quick and responsive and the check-in/out was a breeze.

This Young Harris condo was a great stay for our family while participating in a wedding that was at the Brasstown Valley Resort a few minutes away (nice golf course there too). This condo was a perfect home base for us and we loved the large deck, the lake and mountain views and the proximity to the resort and other sites around Young Harris and Hiawassee, like the Crane Creek Winery and Bell Mountain Park (VERY steep drive not for every car or driver, but spectacular views ... we even saw a bald eagle). Amy and Kyle were great communicators and had very good suggestions. The kitchen was particularly well stocked and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again and would love to explore the area more. I will note that the 4th bedroom, which is well described in the listing, really is more of a sun room, but would be a perfect "bedroom" for 1 or 2 children. We did not use the room, but the window views of the lake and mountains in it are the best in the condo.

This was our second stay at Billy’s beautiful cabin in Suches. It was again amazing. We had a wonderful time fishing and exploring downtown Blue Ridge. Even caught and cooked two beautiful rainbow trout for dinner in the river right behind the cabin. Morning breakfast on the back porch was heavenly. Recommend this place highly!

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The views from the house are incredible. It is very peaceful. The place was clean. Nina was very helpful and responsive when needed. We used the pool and hot tub, which was a short walk down the driveway. I highly recommend this place if you’re visiting the area!

this place was great! the location was convenient and the home was clean. Definitely worth it!
